The present study introduces a rare case with secondary glaucoma due to anterior chamber lipoma anduveitis in a Pekingese dog in Iran. A four-year-old castrated male Pekingese dog was referred to the privateclinic with impaired vision of the left eye, pain, rubbing the left eye onto carpet, presence of a milkycolouredmass into the anterior chamber, and loss of appetite. The clinical examination, haematological andbiochemical tests, fluorescein staining, measurement of intraocular pressure and ultrasonography wereconducted. Based on all results, medical and surgical treatments were carried out. The mass was removedsurgically and its histopathologic study revealed lipoma.
